Panasonic BDP-140 User Manual

En

If you need to move this unit, first remove the disc if 
there’s one loaded, and close the disc tray. Next, press 
 STANDBY/ON to switch the power to standby, 
checking that the 

POWER OFF indication on the front 

panel display goes off. Wait at least 10 seconds. Lastly, 
disconnect the power cord.

Never lift or move the unit during playback — discs rotate 
at a high speed and may be damaged.

Select a stable place near the TV and AV system to which 
the unit is connected.

Do not place the player on top of a TV or color monitor. 
Keep it away from cassette decks or other components 
easily affected by magnetism.

Avoid the following types of places:

• Places exposed to direct sunlight

• Humid or poorly ventilated places

• Extremely  hot  or  cold  places

• Places subject to vibration

• Dusty  places

• Places exposed to soot, steam or heat (in kitchens, 

etc.)

 Do not place objects on top

Do not place objects on top of the player.

 Do not obstruct the ventilation 
holes

Do not use the player on a shaggy rug, bed, or sofa, and 
do not cover the player with a cloth, etc. Doing so will 
prevent heat dissipation and could lead to damage.

 Keep away from heat

Do not place the player on top of an amplifier or other 
device generating heat. When installing in a rack, to avoid 
the heat generated by the amplifier and other devices, 
place it on a shelf below the amplifier whenever possible.

Depending on the conditions of the TV broadcast signals, 
striped patterns may appear on the screen when the TV is 
turned on while the player’s power is turned on. This is not 
a malfunction with the player or TV. If this happens, turn 
the player’s power off. In the same way, noise may be 
heard in the sound of a radio.

If the player is moved suddenly from a cold place into a 
warm room (in winter, for example) or if the temperature 
in the room in which the player is installed rises suddenly 
due to a heater, etc., water droplets (condensation) may 
form inside (on operating parts and the lens). When 
condensation is present, the player will not operate 
properly and playback is not possible. Let the player stand 
at room temperature for 1 or 2 hours with the power 
turned on (the time depends on the extent of 
condensation). The water droplets will dissipate and 
playback will become possible.

Condensation can also occur in the summer if the player 
is exposed to the direct wind from an air-conditioner. If 
this happens, move the player to a different place.

Normally, wipe the player with a soft cloth. For tough dirt, 
apply some neutral detergent diluted in 5 to 6 parts water 
to a soft cloth, wring out thoroughly, wipe off the dirt, then 
wipe again with a dry cloth.

Note that getting alcohol, thinner, benzene or insecticide 
on the player could cause the print and coating to peel off. 
Also, avoid leaving rubber or vinyl products in contact 
with the player for long periods of time, as this could 
damage the cabinet.

When using chemical-impregnated wipes, etc., read the 
wipe’s cautions carefully.

Unplug the power cord from the power outlet when 
cleaning the player.

Do not press the 

 OPEN/CLOSE on the remote control 

to open the disc tray while the glass door is closed. The 
door will hamper the movement of the disc tray, and the 
unit could be damaged.

The player’s lens should not become dirty in normal use, 
but if for some reason it should malfunction due to dust 
or dirt, consult your nearest Pioneer authorized service 
center. Although lens cleaners for players are 
commercially available, we advise against using them 
since some may damage the lens.

Do not use damaged (cracked or warped) discs.

Do not scratch the disc’s signal surface or let it get dirty.

Do not load more than one disc into the player at a time.
